How closely you follow these recommendations is up to you; however, patients who are physically active are more likely to achieve their health and weight goals.

We will provide you with a personalized nutrition plan consisting of lean proteins, healthy fats, and low-glycemic (non-starchy) fruits and vegetables — real foods that you can buy in a grocery store or eat at your favorite restaurants.
